While it housed many well known brands, (and nothing you haven't seen before) I will say this....the store MADE you want to shop for all the pretty things. It hit all of your senses at every turn. Not only was it well decorated, it was experiential and impeccably clean. This type of makeup shopping was so much different (and better) than any Sephora could even dream of.As I walked through the store, it was a painful reminder how we have completely lost this experience in the USA.

The "beauty advisors" in Hong Kong are so much more helpful, without the hard sell and without the ATTITUDE. Never once were you made to feel "inferior" or looked down on if you didn't look like your favorite Youtube star or Instagram photo... It was if I had stepped into my own little slice of heaven.

What we didn't see? Bronzer. Contouring. Heavy Foundation. Instabrows. Can we move here? I will say this about Hong Kong. I find myself very at home here. #winning.

Here are our photos....Hope you enjoy....
